Abstract: Today manufacturing industries are moving towards quality and manufacturing management practices in an integrated manner for maintaining high-level performance and sustainability. In support of this, an integrated manufacturing business excellence system (IMBES) assessment model is developed, which comprises three levels and consists of ten enablers, divided into 25 criteria for obtaining information about the performance and sustainability readiness of an organisation. To which, the multi-grade fuzzy (MGF) logic approach has been proposed for assessing the performance and sustainability readiness. The ABC manufacturing organisation was taken as a case study to implement the IMBES model. The data were gathered by experts from the ABC and tested using the MGF approach. The IMBES index value was enumerated, and further these enablers were classified using IPA and the weak criteria were identified through PII. The result ensures that the organisation readiness exercise would be suitable for the IMBES model to survive in the competitive market environment.
